    The Consumerium Exchange is where people can voice their opinion on which disputed article or campaign is closest to the truth at a certain period of time.

    The purpose of The Consumerium Exchange is to provide an popularity measurement for different opinions, which determines the default opinion shown to the consumer on each issue.

    The consumer can override the view of a given company, interest group or industry with her/his own preferences automatically or manually. One important preference is the slider to set how much weight direct and indirect votes get. Enabling automatic exclusion of votes based on preferences should also be possible.

    Every person gets two votes on each issue:

    Where issue is a disputed article or a campaign.

    Whether the direct votes are anonymized or visible or whether decision on this is left up to the voter on each issue is yet unclear.

    Counter measures against multivoting and vote buying should be meticulously evaluated.
